Pros

Good pay/benefits and the work/life balance isn’t horrible

Cons

Management is horrible. They want to get payed with doing the least amount of work possible. Favoritism is huge in this company, you get promoted based on who you know and how much of a suck up you are versus your actual performance and work ethic. I brought up legitimate concerns of favoritism, negligence and other things which a good employee should. Then they started looking for little things to try to fire me over and overlook their buddies who were doing the same thing. I brought up many no cost way to improve efficiency there while making the job easier at the same time and they just dismissed it, but when their buddies brought up the same idea they got rewarded for it. I showed initiative many times to learn new things to where I could do more for the company just to once again get dismissed for their buddies. All in all if your looking for a long time job this is not it. Horrible management, they all need to work out on the floor so they can see who earns them all that money.

Pros

I’ve been at Mars (Yorkville site) for about three months as a Quality Systems Senior Specialist, and so far it’s been a great experience. Everyone has been genuinely friendly, welcoming, and willing to help. The culture feels very supportive—people want to see you succeed and are quick to share knowledge and offer guidance. My manager has been amazing and is truly invested in my growth. She’s helped set clear expectations, encouraged development, and provided the tools and support I need to be successful.

Cons

None so far—still new, but my experience has been very positive.
